ok i adjusted the throw out stop on the clutch this arve and while i was doing that i think i hit the brake switch (i think thats what it is anyway) below the stops mounted to the sub frame and sparks went everywhere.

replaced the fuse that i could find that was blown but now my brake lights rn't working, neither are the blinkers. and the fuel gauge only works until i try to turn on the blinkers or but the brakes on.

My car is a 1962 850 still with a generator and an imobiliser fitted. car still starts and headlights and parkers still work. whats going on?

That was the brake switch you hit.

It sounds like the fuse box needs a little bit of sandpaper taken to the copper contacts. Buff them up where the fuse sits until they are nice and shiny. While you are there, look for any loose connections in there caused by the spade connectors as well.
